"Oh Shit" moments...

Had to bring my bmx back from leeds to sell it and when riding it home down crouch hill I'd forgotten quite how steep & long the hill was.... the traffic lights at the bottom completely slipped my mind as well until i saw them. I tried to kill my speed a bit by putting my foot against the rear trye but I had a 15kg bag on my back an it almost broke my toes. I hurriedly sat down an dug both heels into the road which slowed me down a bit but it didn't feel sufficient to stop me before the red light! I was worried I'd have to ghost my bike at the lights but luckily 50m from the lights they went yellow and that 'oh shit' feeling faded away an I pulled my feet up whizzed through. Wish I'd just gotten off an walked it down the hill

Classic brakeless. You have to jam your foot between rear triangle and tyre so it locks, or sit down and use your foot on the front tyre.
